Duydyears with guns back to their hometown for revenge.

The key to our army's invincibility lies in strict discipline. As early as the 20s of the last century, our army established the party's leadership and command over the army through the 87 and Gutian conferences"Three disciplines and eight points of attention"and other binding provisions.

Although discipline in our military is considered to be strict, we have never denied it. Because the rise and fall of this army has a bearing on the future of the country and the destiny of the nation.

The discipline of our army is not only reflected in the attitude towards the enemy, we do not allow unauthorized, violent actions, especially disobeying organizational orders because of personal grudges.

However, there is one thing in the history of our army"Perverse"things. In 1947, Du Yide, political commissar of the Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army, met with Comrade Xiaoping, political commissar of the Field Army, and proposed to return to his hometown to execute the landlord, who was his father-killing enemy.

Judging from the nature, Du Yide's move is a personal vendetta and a violation of discipline. However, unexpectedly, Comrade Xiaoping not only agreed to his request, but also gave him a machine gun to help him successfully slash the enemy.

What's going on? Let's dive into this insider.

Born in 1912 in Hujiawan, a rural village in the Dabie Mountains on the border of Hubei and Henan, his ancestors were tenant farmers who rented land from large local landlords for a living.

Despite the hard work, the contract stipulated that most of the harvest went to the landlords, and the tenant farmers had to dig wild vegetables for food. 1912 was the year of the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of **, originally thought that the end of China's last feudal dynasty would allow the people to live a rich and stable life, but the opposite was that ** quickly fell into a state of separation of forces from all sides, forming a situation of "soldiers are like grates".

Du Yide's family has been looted several times, and there is no room to make ends meet. Worst of all, the landlord came to demand the year's grain, and Duyde's father came to the door many times to beg for mercy, but was only ridiculed and beaten.

Since then, Du Yide has set his ambition to change this situation of cannibalism and let the bully landlords get the punishment they deserve.

Duyde's father was tormented by his career as a sharecropper and felt that only by mastering a trade could his son escape poverty and the bullying of landlords. So, when Du Yide was 14 years old, his father decided to send him to study in a carpenter shop in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province.

The father hoped that his son would learn a skill, no longer have to suffer from the hardships of his own life, and be able to gain a foothold in Wuhan. However, it turns out that in the troubled times, the stability of the people at the bottom is only a good wish of my father.

In Wuhan, Du Yide worked as an apprentice in a carpenter's shop. According to the rules of traditional craftsmen, apprentices do not receive their regular wages for the first three years of study. Du Yide not only did not receive money during this time, but was also called around by the boss at will, without dignity.

Once, when Duyid fell asleep due to fatigue, his boss found out and beat him with a wooden stick, leaving him scarred. When Duyid asked his boss to leave, he even demanded that he pay a total of one silver dollar for the food and lodging expenses of the apprenticeship.

With the help of his co-workers, Du Yide was able to return to his hometown safely. After returning to his hometown, Du Yide cried to his father about the ordeal. The father felt sorry for his son, but he gave up the idea of letting his son go to the city as an apprentice, hoping that his son would continue to be a tenant farmer like him, at least in the village.

However, Du Yide has a fire in his heart, and he longs to change the status quo so that the poor people in the world can live a good life. When he was in Wuhan, Du Yide got acquainted with the best comrades in our party's underground work and listened to his speeches several times.

He believed that only under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and the leadership of our party could we achieve a society free of oppression and equality for all.

Although Du Yide did not understand the meaning of "Marxism-Leninism" at that time, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that these people would come to his hometown and rescue the poor people.

After a short wait, Duyid saw hope in the jute riots. Under the leadership of our party, Huang An and Macheng set up peasant associations and Red Guards, overthrew the landlords and inferior gentry, and divided property, land and farm tools equally among the poor peasants.

Du Yide joined the Red Guards and actively participated in the suppression of evil forces and the relief of the poor. However, news of the Jute Rebellion reached the provincial capital, and the reactionary warlords ordered the troops to suppress it, and although the peasant unions and the Red Guards had the support of the peasants, they could not be compared with the regular army in strength.

The riot was quickly quelled by the enemy's strangulation, and Du Yide's co-workers were also killed in the battle, and the village began a brutal "** count". In order to protect his family, Duyid joined the Red Army and became a soldier.

He used his quick mind and flexible skills to make great contributions in the ranks, and in 1929 he was appointed as the propaganda captain of the 4th Brigade of the 31st Division of the 11th Army of the Red Fourth Front Army.

Because of his background and understanding of our party's policies, he was able to successfully complete the propaganda work and played a positive role in the army's work of dividing the land.

Du Yide joined the Red Army in his hometown of Dabie Mountain, and soon became famous among the masses for his heroic fighting and excellent ideological propaganda work. However, this aroused the jealousy of the enemy, who managed to capture and imprison his father, who, despite being tortured and beaten, never betrayed his son for the reactionaries.

This tragedy made Du Yide full of "father-killing hatred" against the reactionary landlords, but he was not carried away by hatred, but turned this hatred into motivation to work and kill enemies.

In the ranks of the Red Army, Du Yide repeatedly made meritorious contributions and his position was constantly promoted. He successively served as the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 30th Regiment of the 100th Division of the Red Fourth Army, and then became a political cadre, and was appointed as the political commissar of the 11th Division of the 31st Red Army.

The most popular thing in his troops was to sit around and listen to his propaganda and teachings. Although he has been engaged in ideological and political work for a long time, Du Yide is also a fierce general who fights bravely.

During the Long March, in the face of the enemy's siege in an iron barrel formation, he took the lead, rushed out with a gun, and bravely rushed towards the enemy's encirclement. Although his troops were able to save the day, a bullet went head-on into his chest during the breakout, and although he was able to save the day with emergency medical treatment, the surgeon described the bullet as being just a millimeter away from his heart.

Du Yide can be said to have passed away from the ghost gate, and his bravery spread throughout the region in the four front armies.

Original: After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yide was assigned to work in the New Fourth Brigade of the 129th Division, although the department is not a front-line combat unit, but its responsibility for the construction of the base area is also very important, and Du Yide can properly complete the work assigned by his superiors by relying on his experience and ability.

After the outbreak of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the 129th Division was reorganized into the Central Plains Field Army, and soon after they received the task of leaping thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain.

At this time, Du Yide's identity had become the political commissar of the Sixth Column of the Central Plains Field Army, and under the leadership of him and the commander of the column, Wang Jinshan, the Sixth Column became the trump card unit.

And the thousand-mile leap into Dabie Mountain has a more special meaning for Du Yide himself, first because this is where his hometown is, and secondly, the reactionary forces here have a common hatred with him for killing his father.

One day in 1947, he approached Comrade Xiaoping, who was then the political commissar of Nakano, and told him his idea of eliminating the former landlords and returning to his hometown.

In principle, as a high-ranking commander of the people's army, it is obviously a violation of discipline to avenge one's own personal vendetta during the war, but after thinking about it, Comrade Xiaoping agreed to Du Yide's request, and in his opinion, Du Yide's move was not only to avenge the murder of his father, but also to avenge the grievances of the masses who died tragically at their hands.

When Duyd's troops surrounded the landlords, they fled like lost dogs, and their sinful life came to an end after a burst of strafing.

In the old society, there were not a few people like Du Yide who were oppressed by the feudal reactionary forces, and those executioners who aided and abused also paid the price for their actions.

This reminds us once again to cherish the hard-won peaceful life we have today.
